I have a 3rd edition (April 1969) Owner's Manual, and would like to know if there is any way to determine if it is original, or a reproduction?Not concerned with value, just original or not.Any help much appreciated.

Hey Tim. I have a reproduction and an original to look at. The Reproduction says it's a reprint and the original doesn't. I don't have them in front of me to check but I think there are some page color differences also on a few pages. I'll look today and add what I find.

Thanks Gary, appreciate it; I have a reproduction around the place somewhere too, but darned if I can find it to check. Must be in that "safe place" along with all the other stuff I can't find.....I seem to recall the reproductions (reprints) are all the same edition/revision/version, so maybe that will help determine if it is original or not, too?
